"I am concerned because he hasn't had many muscular issues and he had to leave the pitch and he was feeling something, That's obviously never a good sign, especially for a player that is very, very explosive. So we are digging in a little bit more to understand where we are in terms of the injury and we'll announce the moment we know. He's definitely not available [to play Slavia]. He hasn't trained today. We need to do some more tests and scans in the next few days to understand the extent of the injury."
"He was very disappointed after the match with what he felt, but this is part of football. At the end, if you expect a linear line, everything going up, it's not going to happen. And if he's got something, he's going to have to deal with it. We will help him to do that. As you said, he was in a really good moment, in really good form. He's very important for the team. But for tomorrow, we don't have him. So that's it."
Viktor Gyökeres sustained a muscular issue after being substituted in Arsenal's 2-0 win over Burnley and missed Monday training. Head coach Mikel Arteta expressed concern and confirmed Gyökeres will not be available for Tuesday's Champions League match against Slavia Prague while the club completes tests and scans to assess the extent. Gyökeres was disappointed but will receive support during recovery. His absence compounds Arsenal's shortage of attacking and creative options, with Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, Noni Madueke and Martin Odegaard also sidelined. Mikel Merino replaced Gyökeres at Burnley and may feature.
